Rencong for comment

TVV · 30th May 2009, 02:50 AM

Just received this rencong yesterday, and wanted to get the comments of those members, who are much more knowledgeable in Aceh weapons than I am (which means everyone here, basically).
Can anyone tell from the pictures if the band on the hilt is copper or suasa? Probably copper, but I am far from an expert.

I try not to venture out of my main field of interest and hopefully this is an authentic old rencong and not a newly made one.
Thank you,
Teodor
